This idea is in direct cobtradiction to the claims that the Phoebus Cartel gathered to lower the lifespan of light bulbs due to declining sales in a market saturated with long-lasting bulbs. This is cited by some as the birth of Planned Obsolescence. I personally have not be clear on which side of this argument holds more accuracy, but given today's anti-consumer leanings in manufactiring (particulatly in the US), I have my misgivings about it all. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoebus_cartel https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoebus_cartel
